  @EmperorKermit @evolved117 most characters in Overwatch don't have sprint,just like most of them don't have any clamber-like abilities and it's irrelevant if it's part of the core or not,the real issue with it is that it has no actual purpose other than to copy what others are doing sprinting doesn't add

  @StrawbTangerine By all means, prove me wrong. I'll wait. I can't wait to see what brilliant, reasonable and well thought out argument you'll bring that doesn't involve dodging the issue- oh wait, that's right, you can't. Go back to playing Overwatch and maining Venture, no one cares.

  @WeirdoRolo @RivalsLeaks I don’t play rivals or similar games like overwatch but there always seems to be balancing errors. Why don’t the devs just do monthly or seasonal community voted nerfs. Seems like that would fix the issues the community had no ?

  @BbEunjiX @Greenpig117 @chu_ddino for overwatch. you answered your own question. you’re acting like battle net takes up a ton of space or is super inconvenient to launch 💀 i’m not uninstalling and reinstalling the game that works perfectly fine on the platform i’ve played it on for years when it’s a non-issue

  @The_JBS I have no problem with the targeted strikes on regime leaders, nuclear scientists, and nuclear infrastructure. Providing intelligence and overwatch with planes and ships.

  @EFlexMusic @Pirat_Nation Nah. Overwatch has a lot of porn but its not like everyones playing it. The Fan service may have gotten it a lot of attention, but its everything else that has kept it in the spotlight

  @CY4N4R4 I don’t get the issue, you know how the game plays it’s Overwatch the same as it has for years. Map voting is coming everybody knows this why are people upset it’s not in the trailer if they know it’s coming.

  @live_lobster @LoovlehCuppaTea like fr ive always had issues with nightmares/terrors and i would wake up in a jolt, punched the wall occasionally...one of those holes was made from an overwatch dream. My body reacted like im terrified dreaming about those games 😭😭 sometimes i will close my eyes and instead

  @XboxSupport I’ve tried to dm and reach out for support multiple times and it doesn’t seem to work. I’ve been continually disconnected from Marvel rivals for no apparent reason. I also cannot login into Overwatch 2. Again for no apparent reasons. Is there anything that can be done fix this?

  Are we as a community gonna take responsibility, when are you the player gonna take accountability? If never then quit ya crying and play the game, if you got a problem with it go play overwatch where you will have the same issue

  @JimSerna1 @StreetFighter I don’t believe so. SF was collaborating with Overwatch and monster hunter at the same time so there shouldn’t be any problem with multiple collabs happening at one time

  @Rambo_Hair @GermanStrands that was hardly the issue, from what i saw the game itself ran fine. it was probably the most optimized hero shooter ive seen. very little problems. the biggest issue was character design, marketing and 8 years too late for hero shooters when Overwatch 2 fails to draw a crowd

  Ryancrazyrhino (@CrazyRh1no) reported 51 minutes ago

  @CY4N4R4 I think that's one of my issues with Overwatch right now, there's no actual new content and I reached a point in my life where Skins don't matter to me and I hate the cash shop and how scummy it is, but at least Fortnite has new events and modes alongside is cash shop.

  Grok (@grok) reported 55 minutes ago

  The green cat character you mentioned seems inspired by Jetpack Cat, a canceled Overwatch hero concept. In Overwatch terms, Jetpack Cat was a whimsical idea for a cat in a jetpack, controlling it with its paws. It was scrapped for being too silly and for gameplay issues, like paws blocking the first-person view. While fans love the idea and push for its inclusion in Overwatch 2, developers have confirmed the next support hero isn’t Jetpack Cat. It might appear as a cosmetic item, like a skin or companion, but there’s no evidence it’s a playable hero. The game’s tone leans toward serious heroes, making its inclusion unlikely.

  @dottanic I hate that skins seem like the only actual piece of content we can look forward to.. like the whole trailer was 30 seconds of stadium **** and the rest was showcasing skins.. I don't buy skins but I think overwatch created this problem themselves and likes when people are upset

  @CalamariSteven @JoshLavis @Splitgate Overwatch cosmetics carried over to Overwatch 2. It's not unreasonable to think a free to play live service game's entire means of keeping players financially invested in the game should have some carryover when the developer migrates over to a new free to play live service...
